Dario Robleto: The Signal highlights the artist’s multiyear exploration of the Golden Record, and features Robleto’s newly commissioned work Ancient Beacons Long for Notice, an immersive, 70-minute film based on a rare and forgotten document—the first audio recording of warfare—which was considered for inclusion on the Golden Record.
Cowboy reexamines the popular mythologies surrounding the image and concept of the cowboy. Through the work of 28 artists, which includes Asian American, Black, Indigenous, and Latino perspectives, the exhibition explores a wide array of themes including perceptions of masculinity and gender, assumptions about cowboys’ relationship to land, and the lived experiences of contemporary cowboys.
Drawn from the Carter's collection, Richard Hunt: From Paper to Metal highlights the artist’s prints produced at the Tamarind Lithography Workshop in 1965 and a newly-acquired sculpture, Natural Form, created in Hunt’s signature direct-welded metal technique.
Jean Shin is the next contemporary artist to transform the Museum’s first floor sloping gallery with a new site-specific commission. For her installation at the Carter, Shin will create a textile-based portrait of the Museum, through clothing items donated by the Carter’s employees and shape these elements into a large-scale wall mural with immersive hanging elements that will activate the gallery walls and ceiling.
The Carter houses one of the great collections of American art, from historical landscapes captured on canvas to city streets seen through the lens of a camera. We’re regularly changing out these works, so each time you visit, you know you’ll encounter something you haven’t seen before.
